Employment verifications for mortgages, loans, or other purposes are processed by the NIH Records Management Center.

• Please contact the Records Management Center for employment verification requests at ohrmrc@od.nih.gov.

Obtaining a Copy of Your Personnel Records SF-50

If you left NIH more than 3-4 months ago and are no longer a government employee, NIH should not still have this document. Since you left the federal government, your folder will have been sent to a central archive facility run by the National Archives. To request a copy of your Official Personnel Folder (OPF), you should contact the National Archives. The National Archives Official Personnel Folder (OPF)   page will give you guidance for obtaining a copy of your OPF.

If you transferred to another government agency, the contents of your eOPF are printed and then reconciled with the hardcopy OPF. The hardcopy OPF is sent to the gaining agency. Your eOPF remains in the system and is deactivate 90 days from the date of separation from the previous agency.

Obtaining a Copy of a Prior Year's W-2

A duplicate copy of the prior year’s W-2 may be requested by submitting the

Request for Duplicate, Corrected or Prior Year W-2, Wage and Tax Statement Form  to the Benefits and Payroll Liaison Branch (BPLB) located in Building 31, Room B3C23. You must indicate on the form whether you want a duplicate W-2 from the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) or the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) or both. Your request will then be forwarded to DHHS for processing. Please make sure that the current address and the address to which the W-2 should be sent is correct on the form.
